The recipe was created to match the non-pie theme but not venture too far from tradition and seasonal ingredients. Crepes are always a hit whenever served so it moved to the top of my thought process and the rest evolved from there. Thanksgiving can also be a very hectic venture in the kitchen so a desire to prepare something that could mainly be made in advance was important. Assembly can all be done last minute, but with a presentation that looks like you personally prepared them minutes ago. You can of course make the crepes during assembly and have all the items warm. We had mixture of those that wanted the crepes warm and those that found it served at room temperature acceptable. The brittle was a last minute add for some additional crunch texture that is optional. The pumpkin seeds were also in my pantry staring at me. The brittle is a great snack by itself. A variation may be to add a dollup of whipped cream to match the look of a traditonal pumpkin pie. I hope you will try this recipe. It was a hit in our house.
